McLean, VA (February 9, 2022) – Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL have disgraced themselves and greatly dishonored America’s law enforcement professionals by inviting Snoop Dogg, a vocal and dangerous cop hater, to be the featured performer in this Sunday’s Super Bowl half-time show.

Less than a month after our nation mourned when two New York City police officers, Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora, were shot and killed during a brutal ambush attack, the NFL will be entertaining us with a headliner who has famously rapped, “All you n***as out there, Take your guns that you using to shoot each other And start shooting these b***h-ass mother-f**king police. That’ll impress a mother-f**king n***a like me.” (From the song, “Police,” by Snoop Dogg & J5 Slap.)

This is just a small sample of the anti-law enforcement hatred that Snoop Dogg has spewed over many years. Anyone, young children included, can go to YouTube and see Snoop Dogg performing a cover version of N.W.A.’s hit song, “F**k the Police.” The words to the song are pretty simple. He repeats the title over and over while holding his crotch in a courtroom filled with police officers. Over the last few months, this video has received 42,385 views.

Goodell, the NFL and all others associated with the Super Bowl need to understand that words matter. When giving acknowledged cop-haters like Snoop Dogg the attention and privilege that comes with a Super Bowl half-time performance, they are legitimizing and encouraging hatred toward law enforcement.
